UA Record Steps Higher Than Fitbit Steps?

MyFitnessPal uses the UA Record steps to determine my calorie intake. The steps, however, are inaccurately high, and now I don’t know how much to eat!

 

Today, the Fitbit app said that I walked 8985 steps, the UA record says 12,969. Why is this happening?

 

I have an iPhone SE and a Fitbit Flex. I logged a walk inn mapmyrun today, because I wanted to see my stats, but I deleted it, so that shouldn’t be affecting anything I think.

@Ma-Gpie Welcome! Thanks for being part of our Community! 

 

Let me help with your step count. I can only speak about your Flex tracker. Your device will detect the movement on your arm and translate that movement into steps. You can read more about how your Flex counts steps here. On the other apps you can see if there is any activity logged.

 

Let me know how it goes.
